Recall list deleted/not filled up bug

Post by s1m0n »

Hello,

As the title says, I have a problem that in the campaign I am making right now my units don't get transferred between scenarios, as the recall list would do normally. I mostly didn't do any experimental things, for example here code of sc2:

Code: Select all

#textdomain wesnoth-tpts

[scenario]
	id=scenario_2
	next_scenario=scenario_3
	name= _ "2.0"
	map_data="{~add-ons/The_Path_To_Sorcery/maps/2.0.map}"
	turns=20
	random_start_time=yes

	[side]
		side=1
		controller=human
		team_name="good"
		user_team_name= _ "good"
		
		[leader]
			id=myleader
			name= _ "Bob"
			type=Poacher
			unrenameable=yes
		[/leader]
		
		recruit="Peasant, Ruffian, Woodsman"
		gold=50

Is there anything I could have overlooked?

Re: Recall list deleted/not filled up bug

Post by WhiteWolf »

The first thing I'd try is to get rid of the [leader] subtags, in both scenarios, for all sides.
Reason why: recall lists are transferred between persistent sides, which is the default for human player sides with a proper save_id. The way you set up such a side is by defining a leader directly in the side tag.

Code: Select all

[side]
	side=1
	id=myleader 
	name= _ "Bob"
	type=Poacher
  	unrenameable=yes
        <... rest of your stuff>
[/side]
Then, when in the next scenario, you state your side in the same way, meaning it again has the same leader data in the side tag, the game will look for a persistent side with having this leader, and if its found, it is transferred along with its recall list. If not found, a new side is created.
Now I'm not sure what an explicit [leader] tag does, so I had to look it up, and I think it's just an alias for [unit]canrecruit=yes. Which means, it will technically create a unit that can recruit, and that's it - so the unit won't be assigned as the "leader" of the team, so it's not being looked for in the next scenario (save_id is unknown). That's why a new side is created for you.

Thank you!
It did the job, exactly that was why the game was getting confused. Does that mean, I can use the [leader] tag for Boi, who should be equal to Bob but is only a hero with canrecruit=yes at the moment to get him equal to Bob?

technicially there is no leader of the team, only untis with canrecruit=yes.

you can use [leader] but then you have to explicitly set save_id= to the same value to your side in all scenarios (save_id can but doesnt have to be the same value as the leaders id)
Scenario with Robots SP scenario (1.11/1.12), allows you to build your units with components, PYR No preperation turn 1.12 mp-mod that allows you to select your units immideately after the game begins.
